Provides a new attachment location to save attachment as large objects. To enable the large object storage option change the ir_attachment.location parameter to lobject .

Advantages over the in-database storage

• Better RAM efficiency (This is more important for large files than for small ones.)
• Possibility to easily dump the base without the large objects (This can be useful for reproducing bugs.)

Advantages over the file system storage

• Large objects are transactional (fully ACID)
• They work out of the box in multi-system setups (So there is no need for NFS or similar file sharing tools.)
• Enables you to easily create backups of the entire system
